Whether you’re planning to take photos of your own newborn, or dipping your toes into the world of newborn photography, there are some basic tips that will set you up for a successful and relaxed session.

This is a question I get asked all the time: “How do I get smiles from the kids, or stop people from looking awkward during a photo session?”
